Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a filter element having a seal that functions as an anti-drain seal. The seal prevents fluid being filtered (e.g., fuel) from flowing back to a fluid storage tank (e.g., a fuel tank) through a drain in the filter housing when the filter element is in an installed position within the filter housing. The seal and the filter housing allow fluid to flow back to the fluid storage tank when the filter element is being removed from the filter housing (e.g., during a filter change service). The seal is removably coupled to the filter element such that the seal can be reused with replacement filter elements. The seal also functions as an engine integrity protection mechanism. Thus, the seal performs functions as a sealing device, draining device, and engine integrity protection feature.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a filter element (86) with multi-stage cleaning, and a fuel filter (84) having such a filter element (86). The filter element (86) has a particle filter medium, a coalescer medium, a sediment gap (98) and a final separator screen. The filter housing has a filter housing body (110) and a cover (106) screwed onto the filter housing body (110). When the cover (106) is unscrewed from the filter housing body (110), at least one bayonet projection (112) of the filter element (86) engages behind a corresponding bayonet receptacle (114), such that the cover (106) can be removed together with the filter element (86) arranged thereon by way of the bayonet connection.
Abstract:
A filter device includes a main body portion having a cylinder shape, and the main body portion is inserted along a center axis of the pipe. One end portion of the main body portion structuring a filter device is blocked. At least one portion of a flange portion is provided between both end portions of the cylinder, and the flange portion divides a space inside the pipe in a liquid-tight state by elastically deforming and by being attached firmly to an inner surface of the pipe. A first passing portion of the liquid is provided in a cylinder side portion between the one end portion of the cylinder and the flange portion, and a second passing portion of the liquid is provided on a side close to the other end portion of the cylinder than the flange portion.
Abstract:
A filter includes a structurally rigid adsorptive filtering medium formed as a sintered porous material chosen to remove targeted contaminant(s). The adsorptive filtering medium forms a hollow chamber sized to receive a mechanical filtering medium which is sized to press outward against the adsorptive filtering medium which supports the mechanical filtering medium thus eliminating a cage and a core to support the mechanical filtering medium and leading to a simplified construction. The fluid enters the filter through substantially the entire face of the adsorptive filtering structure and proceeds through the mechanical filtering medium which is a pleated paper filter. The hollow chamber may be capped at each end such that the caps effectively seal the filter and direct the fluid through the adsorptive filter medium and the mechanical filter medium.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge (30) for filtering fuel, comprising a filter wall (31) having a tubular shape, a first support plate (32) fixed to an end of the filter wall (31) and a second support plate (33) fixed to the opposite end of the filter wall, each support plate (32, 33) defining a respective portion (324,325;335,336) of a discharge conduit (324,325; 50; 335,336) of the water which separates from the fuel during filtration of the fuel; the peculiarity of the invention consists in the fact that it comprises a connecting cannula (50) able to connect the portions (324,325;335,336) and arranged externally of the filter wall (31).
Abstract:
A fluid filter system has a filter element disposed in a filter housing with cover. A coupling device is provided with coupling element and corresponding coupling receptacle. The coupling device has a locking position and a release position. The coupling element engages the coupling receptacle in the locking position. The coupling element is released from the coupling receptacle in the release position. In the locking position, filter element and cover are coupled to each other. A locking device is provided with locking element and corresponding locking receptacle. The coupling device is moveable from the release position into the locking position by rotating the coupling element relative to the coupling receptacle about an axial direction and is releasable by rotating the coupling element relative to the coupling receptacle about the axial direction. The locking element locks the coupling device in the locking position by engaging the locking receptacle.
Abstract:
A filter device, having a filter housing (1, 3) defining a main axis, in which at least one filter element (15) is replaceably accommodated, and which has a housing pot (1) surrounding the particular filter element (15) and a housing head (3) removably attachable thereto, in which at least one fluid passage (39) for the discharge flow of filtrate is formed, and having a valve device associated with said fluid passage, which includes a closing body (53) which, in a closed position, blocks the discharge flow of filtrate and in a release position facilitates the discharge flow, and having a locking device, which includes a blocking member (57) which, in a locking position, locks the closing body (53) of the valve device in the closed position, wherein the blocking member (57) may be moved out of the locking position into an inoperative unlocking position by means of a control element (81) provided on the particular filter element (15) which, when the filter element (15) is situated in the functional position in the housing pot (1), mechanically impacts the blocking member (57) as the housing head (3) is being attached to the housing pot (1), is characterized in that the blocking member, for moving between locking position and unlocking position (57) [sic] is mounted such that it can be displaced axially in the housing head (3) along the main axis and, as the housing head (3) is attached, may be moved into the unlocking position through contact with the control element (81) of the filter element (15).
Abstract:
A filter cartridge includes a substantially cylindrical filter media having a first end and a second end wherein the second end has an opening adaptable to receive a fluid outlet. The filter media is adapted to allow fluid to pass from an exterior of the filter media to an interior space of the filter media. A divider is positioned adjacent to the exterior of the filter media, and the divider has a closed end connected to the first end of the filter media and an open end that is longitudinally-spaced from the second end of the filter media such that at least a portion of the filter media located adjacent to the second end of the filter media is not directly adjacent to the divider. The divider extends a majority of the distance from the first end to the second end of the filter media.
Abstract:
Filter cartridge arrangements, features thereof and assembly for use therewith, are provided. Selected filter cartridge features disclosed are particularly well adapted for use with a safety or secondary filter cartridge, usable with media thereof projecting into an open interior of a main filter cartridge, in use. An example filter cartridge is described, with a non-pleated end and a pleated end, although variations are also described. Advantageous main cartridges are also described. Methods of assembly and systems for use are described.
Abstract:
A filter remover removes a cylindrical filter element housed in a housing through an opening provided in the housing. The filter remover includes: an attachment portion provided with a screw to be screwed onto the opening; an insert portion that includes a base end integrated with the attachment portion and a tip end in a form of a free end, that is elastically deformable in a radial direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the filter element in conjunction with a movement in the axial direction caused when the attachment portion is screwed, and that is inserted through the opening into a center hole provided in the filter element as the attachment portion is screwed; and an engaging portion that is provided at the tip end and that is engaged with the filter element after the attachment portion is moved for a predetermined amount when the attachment portion is screwed.
